Trx engine in an Fzr?

I'm sure I saw a picture of an Fzr with a Trx850 engine in it (might have been in Germany?) but I can't find it now or any other information.
So- has anybody done this? Or got any info?
Or was I just imagining it ;)

Ta,
Mike

I have a TRX and I have a 3TJ/4DX frame. There was a fella on the Performance Bikes forum who had a work in progress but I couldn't get much information about it. The 3TJ frame is more suitable than the earlier frames (I tried a 3EN1 frame around the TRX engine and it won't fit without a lot of cutting and welding)

Let me know if you want any measurements, although I think I might have posted some up on here a while ago.

Thanks for the reply Kayla.
It's just a pipe dream at the moment, but I fancy a 400 sized bike ('cos I'm a shortarse) with a bit more grunt.
I've currently got a Kr-1s (well, 3 actually) which is fantastic when you are in the mood but a bit of a pain when you are not.
I'm tempted to go down the 400/600 hybrid route (there have been a couple of lovely ones for sale on here lately) but saw a Trx today and it started me thinking....

Brill! Thanks Nick. I'm fairly sure the TRX will be coming apart again this winter so the 4DX frame that's lurking around our sheds will be showing its face :lol:

Kayla, is it looking possible?
I'd be very interested to see how it goes.
(Mike nips over to ebay to look for a cheap 3tj frame ;) )

Dunno yet, I've been busy with work. The TRX is out of MOT now so I was going to make a start stripping it down today. The 4DX frame I have has been sold for a fair price so I'm looking out for a cheapish complete 3TJ to start from so I don't have to mess about finding bodywork and stuff.
